Jawahar Jaisingh Thakkar Vs. Abdul Rehman Antulay

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-07-1987

Reported in: (1987)89BOMLR483

S.C. Pratap, J.1. The subject matter of these contempt petitions moved by a practising advocate are two published interviews of A.R. Antulay, former Chief Minister of this State - one in the issue dated March 10, 1984 of 'Current' (a weekly) and the other in the March 1984 issue of 'Gentleman' a monthly magazine.2. Forceful arguments were advanced on either side and the same were heard in extenso. A number of authorities were also cited. Extensive research was the hall-mark of the professional performance in Court.3. Our considered conclusion is that while the overwhelming part of the impugned interviews do not in the least invite any breach of the law of contempt, the same cannot with equal confidence be said of a few sharp answers to some questions. These answers could as well have been modulated downwards to neutralise the risk and consequence thereof under the law of contempt. But if, as submitted, the impugned interviews were not pre-verified publications and, therefore, not neces...
